Jimmy warming up on the first pitch of Rochambeau


Description 

This climb is right at the end of the approach trail. There is a slot here formed by a right and left facing corner. The right facing corner (left climb), is Rochambeau; the left facing corner (right climb) is Fuzz.

The first pitch is a good warmup with solid jams and many ledges for the feet.


Protection 

Mostly hands.

This was the first climb at Indian.  Nice route and decent hands width.  Good intro climb.  Not many toe jams necessary.

Take note: the top 35 feet of this is an entirely detached flake hinged on an 8 inch wide ledge. Body weight certainly isn't pulling it off, but you don't need a PhD in Gravitational Geology (er, something) to see that this thing is coming down on its own and soon (geologically speaking).

Fun climbing that is easier than it looks from the ground. There is a large chockstone wedged in the crack that won't be there forever. It's not too loose yet (as of 04/08).
